Labouré College on Tuesday finalized a deal to purchase the former Aquinas College property in Milton.

Sources confirmed to the Reporter on Monday that officials from the private Catholic college, which is adjacent to Carney Hospital on Dorchester Ave., were in negotiations with the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who control the old Aquinas College campus, located next to Fontbonne Academy.

Commonwealth magazine reported in July that Merrimack College expressed interest in taking over Carney Hospital, as well as Labouré College, but a deal never came to fruition.
